FRENCH TART'S CLASSIC MADELEINES: MADELINES: LITTLE FLUTED CAKES



French Tart's Classic Madeleines: Madelines: Little Fluted Cakes image

These are one of my favourite French cakes; delicate little light sponge cakes, baked in special fluted trays and sprinkled lightly with icing sugar, so elegant, light and airy! Some are flavoured with vanilla extract only, whilst other recipes suggest using lemon or orange; my recipe uses a combination of vanilla extract and lemon. These are ideal served with afternoon coffee or with a glass of dessert wine after a meal, just as the French serve them. You can also dip the tips into melted chocolate, but I prefer mine to be a little more subtle - but it is up to you!

Time 27m

Yield 24 Madeleines, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 eggs
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
125 g icing sugar (5 ozs powdered sugar)
100 g plain flour (4 ozs)
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
125 g butter, melted and cooled (5 ozs)
icing sugar, for sprinkling

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 190°C /375°F/ Gas mark 5. Grease and flour 24 Madeleine moulds. (Make sure that you grease and flour the moulds generously, to stop the cakes sticking.).
  • In a medium bowl beat eggs, vanilla and lemon zest with an electric mixer on high speed for 5 minutes. Gradually beat in the icing sugar. Beat for 5 to 7 minutes or until thick and satiny. It can take up to 10 to 15 minutes to achieve the right consistency - this is the key to successful Madeleines, so don't take short cuts with this stage!
  • Sift together the flour and baking powder. Sift 1/4 of the flour mixture over the egg mixture, gently fold together. Fold in the remaining flour by fourths. Then fold in the melted and cooled butter. Spoon batter into the prepared moulds, filling 3/4 full.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes or until the edges are golden and the tops spring back. Cool in moulds on a rack for 1 minute. Loosen with a knife. Invert onto a rack and cool. Sift icing sugar over the tops or melt plain chocolate and dip the tips in the chocolate. Store in an airtight container.

MADELINES W/RASPBERRY & LEMON CURD RECIPE - (4.1/5)



Madelines w/Raspberry & Lemon Curd Recipe - (4.1/5) image

Provided by [email protected]

Number Of Ingredients 15

4 1/2 ounces/130 grams sugar
3 free-range eggs
7 ounces/200 grams butter, melted and cooled, plus more for buttering
7 ounces/200 grams plain flour, plus more for flouring
1/4 ounce/10 grams baking powder
1 unwaxed lemon, finely grated zest only
3/4 ounce/20 grams honey
4 tablespoons milk
24 raspberries
Lemon Curd
4 whole eggs
1 1/2 cups sugar
2/3 cups lemon juice (from 4 to 6 lemons)
Zest from 4 lemons
6 ounces (1 1/2 sticks) butter, melted

Steps:

  • For the madeleines: Beat the sugar with the eggs until pale and frothy. Put the flour and baking powder into a separate bowl and add the lemon zest. Mix the honey and milk with the cooled butter, and then add to the eggs. In two batches, fold in the flour mixture. Cover and leave to rest in the fridge for a few hours, or overnight. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F/190 degrees C /Gas 5. Butter and flour a 12-shell madeleine tin. Put a heaped tablespoon of batter into each madeleine shell and press a raspberry deep into the batter. Bake for 5 minutes and turn the oven off for 1 minute (the madeleines will get their signature peaks), and then turn the oven on to 325F/160 degrees C/Gas 3 and bake for a further 5 minutes. Transfer the madeleines to a wire rack and leave for a few minutes until cool enough to handle. Repeat with the remaining batter and raspberries. While the second batch is baking, pop the piping nozzle into the mound in each baked madeleine and squirt in a teaspoon's worth of lemon curd. Repeat with the second batch. Dust with icing sugar and serve straightaway. LEMON CURD Beat the eggs and sugar in heavy-bottomed sauce pan. Add the lemon juice, zest and butter. Heat the mixture to a boil, then remove from the heat and strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve. Transfer the lemon curd to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to a few weeks.
